It’s pretty clear that mobility will be a major factor in why organizations of all sizes turn to Cloud Computing. The numbers speak for themselves:

More than 2.5 billion users will connect to the Internet over the next several years via more than 10 billion devices. By 2015, this demand will require 8 times the storage capacity of 2010 as well as 16 times the network capacity and upwards of 20 times the compute capacity.

So here’s how it’ll go…

As people all over the world go online via mobile devices, IT shops everywhere will have to ramp up to cope. But few organizations, large or small, can afford to grow their IT capabilities as they’ll certainly need to by means of traditional, siloed IT data center architectures, which are resource-intensive (e.g., one workload per server) and labor-intensive (because management functions are under-automated).
